Greetings, Mad Friends!

I’d like to share a few remarks on recent growth here at Mad Swirl.

Our creative conspiracy of Contributing Poets has reached over 130 poets in number with more coming soon. Our poets come from all over the world. You’ll see 4 new Contributing Poets and 2 returning Contributors in just the next three weeks.

Here are a few of the countries represented on our Poetry Forum (because they’re fun to list); Australia, Singapore, India, Nepal, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Germany, France, England, Ireland, Israel, Lebanon, Tunisia, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Argentina, Canada and lots o’ poets from the USA, coast to coast.

New submissions have been increasing, too; especially since the turn of this year. You’ll read over a dozen first-time-on-Mad-Swirl poets in the next three weeks. As we have always striven to keep the wait on our submissions queue to 90 days or less, we recently implemented a Two-fer Tuesday on the Poetry Forum, bringing you more fresh poetry from these Mad voices from around our Swirl-ing world.

We editors here at Mad Swirl are so grateful to be the facilitators of such a crazy, creative confab. Thanks to all our Mad Friends everywhere! Spread the word to all your friends and lovers of poetry, short fiction and art. The Swirliverse is expanding!

Peace to all,
mh
